M i g h t y S a m s o n 39 All: The Ark of the Covenant! The Ark of the Covenant! Attendant: Open it to see; they might have broken the tablets! The box is handed in to Samuel who opens it and takes the commandments’ tablet in one piece. Everyone sighs in relief and joy. All: Praise be the Lord! Samuel (to the Guard): Guard, why did you let the man who delivered the tablets go? Guard: When he handed it in to me he said “Take your Ark of the Covenant”; it has brought us nothing but bad fortune”. I was so happy that I took it and rushed with it to bring it in. Attendant: Judge, since making Saul King was to bring back the Ark of the Covenant, what is the need now, that we have retrieved it, to make Saul king? Samuel: It is to be done! Samuel looks at one side of the stage and says: Samuel: Here is King Saul coming ... Saul enters dressed in the King’s attire. A person enters carrying a crown. All rise to greet King Saul.
